The Battle Ground Police Department will begin transitioning to the new badge this month
The Battle Ground Police Department is proud to announce the release of its newly redesigned badge unveiled during the Jan. 5 City Council meeting. The new badge reflects both the department’s enduring traditions and its shared commitment to the community it serves.
The redesign was developed with input from every police department employee, making it a truly department-wide effort. From sworn officers to civilian professionals, team members contributed ideas and feedback to ensure the badge represents the values, pride, and identity shared across the organization.
Badge design
The new badge features a brushed silver finish and incorporates imagery that reflects the local landscape and community identity. The background includes depictions of Mount St. Helens and Battle Ground Lake, framed by a grove of Western hemlocks, the official state tree of Washington. At the center of the badge, a bald eagle is displayed alongside the United States flag and the city of Battle Ground flag. The badge is bordered by the words “Battle Ground Police,” and includes a banner identifying the officer’s rank and displays the City’s year of incorporation, 1951.
“The police badge carries tremendous significance,” said Police Chief Dennis Flynn. “It is a symbol of public trust, responsibility, and service. Every officer who dons it does so with the understanding that they represent the citizens they serve, and with a vow to honor, every day, what that badge stands for.”
The collaborative effort respects the contributions of past members whose service and dedication helped shape the foundation of the department. The new badge represents a continuation of that legacy and the values carried forward with the next generation of officers.
The Battle Ground Police Department will begin transitioning to the new badge this month (January 2026).
